- A submission from Washington, U.S. says the name Lynnea means "A variant of the Swedish 'Linnea' after the Linnea borealis, the national flower of that country, in turn named after Botanist and Taxonomist Carl Linnaeus (b. 1707). The species is also called 'Twinflower' because flowers so often occur in pairs. In Sweden it's common to see Twinflower embroidered into cloth. It grows by spore like ferns instead of seed and thrives in places that had been burnt. As such it's a symbol, not only of beauty, but of resiliency" and is of Swedish origin.
